I learned long ago in my first year in the Navy, never begrudge a person their good deal because someday you may have the opportunity and you damned sure better take it.

So I have no problem with her getting a bit of favoritism because of all the people she has met. If you read the story it sure sounds like she has worked her butt off for years. If I was deciding if I was going to hire her and I have letters from 22 current employees telling me how great she is, I am going to take their advice. They are the ones out there doing the job and if they will stake their reputation on her, that is a huge up check in my book. Maybe flying is different but in my community who you are and what people I trust think about you means a heck of a lot more than your rank and any awards or honors you may have gotten.
